Honest Evaluations

Let’s take a look at what you believe money to be.
The way you think and act with your money impacts your daily life.
Let’s have a look with honesty at your money beliefs with this question…

Welcome to Authentic Living with Linda
I’m Linda Codlin

Welcome, My Friends.

Some weeks disappointment is real, this week has been a week of honestly reevaluating what I’m doing.
Coming to terms with what is, being truthful around what I see around me, and truthful around what I really want.
Then being truthful, around what I want to do and what I don’t want to do to get what I really want.
This is so revealing about the hidden motives that are running under the surface and directing my life.

This week I answered a questionnaire around money and my beliefs from my childhood.
Today I’m going to ask you a question, I want you to write down the first answer that pops up for you.
This answer will give you an insight into what is going on in the background, often unseen and unknown, and driving your actions.

Are you ready? Do not judge your answers, just write your responses in your journal.
Money is ____ Money is _____ Money is _____ Money is ____
Money is ____ Money is _____ Money is _____ Money is ____
Money is ____ Money is _____ Money is _____ Money is ____
Money is ____ Money is _____ Money is _____ Money is ____

Do you see any patterns? Do not beat yourself up?

This is an honesty spotlight?
Do you see where you ignore your money? Or outsource your financial responsibility and accountability?
Do you hear what you want from your money? The energy behind how you create your income? The energy in how you spend or invest your income?
This is a great springboard into understanding your baseline and moving forward towards what you really want.
When I did this exercise this week, my responses were way different to the answers I gave to myself just 4 years ago.
Continually investigating our attitudes around money, wealth and abundance does create an uplift in our lives.

I want you to understand you are the only person in charge of your life.
When you figure out the truth that no-one is doing this too you. That you are actually doing this to yourself.
The power of knowing ALL LIMITATIONS, every limitation you or I hide behind are actually self-imposed, and we have the power, the ability and can generate the will to do something about them, without waiting for the pain of our situation to get so bad we can’t not do something.

Money is your friend.
Money is the return you receive for the value you give to the marketplace. The more value the more money.
Money is the manifestation of your energy.
Money is a tool, money can give you everything you’ve ever wanted and more.
Money is not a moral entity, your values will determine how you create money and how you use it.
Money is unfeeling, it does not determine your authentic worth or your inner value, your mental stories around money does.
Money is is a tool for power, how you use it determines the whether your money power is used to improve or impoverish people’s lives.
Money is freedom. Money gives you options for better health, for travel, to hire people to allow you time for the things you love to do.
Money gives a sense of security and stability.
Money is easy to come by.
Money flows where your energy goes.
Money is a way of expressing love and affection.

These are a few of my Money is… thoughts.

As with all areas of our lives, our mindset is one of the foundational principles we can adjust.
Your attitude around money affects every aspect of your life.
If you believe there is not enough for everyone, you will look for the proof that this is so.
If you believe money is for some people but not for you, you are setting yourself up to get rid of your money as quickly as it comes in.
The balance in your bank account is an indication of what you believe about yourself and the money you earn.
It doesn’t really matter how much you earn, your self-talk around money and wealth will determine what percentage of your income you keep and whether you will stretch to greater heights in earning and keeping capabilities.
Sometimes we have money, we hoard it, we hold it tightly. We tell ourselves it’s for a rainy day, and we live a meagre life because we are too afraid to spend some of this rainy day, money, just in case it won’t be replenished.
Hoarding comes from the attitude of lack, the hidden belief is that money is hard to come by, or that once it is gone it will not come back again. This is a heart and mind belief energy that is holding you back from allowing money to flow to and through you.

The way you do one thing is how you do everything.
Money is a tool, and it will reveal so much about your inner stories of your self-perceived value and worth to yourself and society.
The heart attitude you hold around money, wealth and abundance shows up in every action you take.
Remember market value of your skills, talents and abilities is completely different to your self- belief and self-image of your inner value.
Your inner value, self-belief and self-image will have an impact on your market value.
Low self-belief translates to low market-value.
However if you are putting on a fake-it-till-you-make-it face, your energy will still be at the level of your self-belief, and you will continue to attract low energy results.
Shift your energy, with your actions, with your thoughts, and with your faith.
Transmute your energy into high value market products or services that you love and can endorse with all your heart and the money will follow.
